Philippe Coutinho and Yerry Mina tested goalkeeper Guaita in the second half but Barcelona could not break the deadlock and are now seven points clear of second-place Atletico Madrid. Ernesto Valverde rewarded him with a start here, but Coutinho was invisible as Barcelona struggled to break down Getafe. Coutinho was brought off for Andres Iniesta in the second half, and still has a few things to learn from the old master yet. And in the second half he was brought on to shore up Getafe’s midfield and keep Barcelona at bay. Get a good result at Stamford Bridge and then defend like this at Camp Nou and Chelsea have a chance.
